Computer Courses at UCC
Saya Dr. Chit Swe was a firm believer of
- Technology Transfer
- Leapfrogging Technology
- Lifelong Learning
- Personnel Development
He initiated several programs for Technology Transfer. He had a Component in the UCC Project Plan to have elite Computer Professionals help jump start the Computerization in Burma. The contract for the Component was won by Professor Harry D. Huskey (Computer Pioneer and Past President of ACM). UCC was privileged to have Lectures and Seminars by Experts (Theory and Practice of Computing, Computer Science, Computer Technology, Computer Applications, Computer History …).
Academic courses given under the aegis of Department of Mathematics include :
- M.Sc. (Computer Science)
- DAC — Diploma in Automatic Computing
Courses for computer users include :
- Computer Orientation Course (COC)
- Computer Programming Course (CPC)
- Elective for Honors and Post-graduate in other disciplines
- Intensive training (e.g. for Population Census Data Processing)
- Special training (e.g. for State Scholars)
- Planning (e.g. for departments intending to purchase computers)

Languages
Language Classification
There are several ways to classify languages, e..g. Natural Languages, Programming Languages
In Computer Science and applications, a Programming Language is a language used to program (e.g. instruct) computers.
In the early days, computer engineers and selected programmers have to program in Machine Language (with strings of Zeroes and Ones). They are due partly to the choice of Binary Number System as the basis of designing Arithmetic and Logic Unit inside the computer.
On the ICL 1902S computer, we often have to use the 24 keys to enter short pieces of Machine Code. That is history.To bridge the human users and the computers, the next step was to use Assembly Languages such as (a) Simple/Symbolic Assembly Language (b) Macro Assembly Language.
A Macro Processor translates Macros (a well-defined group of Assembly Language instructions).
An Assembler translates a program in Assembly Language into Machine Language instructions.The development of the first 11 (or so) programming languages can be found in the first HOPL (History
of Programming Languages) Conference.
Currently, there are thousands of programming languages (some for academic purposes) and a limited number used for production.Programming Styles
Over the years, the style of programming evolved.
- Procedural programming
e.g. telling the computer system what to do, emphasis on the “verbs” - Non-procedural programming
e.g. telling the computer system what one wants - Object Oriented programming
e.g. emphasis on the “nouns” - Functional programming
e.g. based on “functions” - Logic programming
e.g. based on “Horn logic” and similar logic systems - Top down step wise development
- Bottom up & Middle out techniques
- AI programming
- Low Code & No Code
Within each paradigm, there are several programming languages with known advantages and limitations.
Turing Computability
There is a theoretical model called “Turing Machine”, which is primitive but has the computational power of modern computers.
Alan Perlis, a pioneer Computer Scientist and Programming Language Designer, defined a “Turing Tar Pit where everything is possible, but nothing is easy.”

Paulian Gatherings
Dr. Khin Maung Zaw (Frank Gale, SPHS63)
- Family members
He lives in the UK. He came to Yangon at least once a year to visit his 90+ year young mother and his eldest sister (who takes care of the mother).
One day, his mother fell down and was hurt. Worse still, his sister was shocked and succumbed to a massive heart attack.
A year later, his mother passed away.- Friends
During his visit, he would also see his Paulian friends.
The photo was taken at a mini-gathering with Dr. Myo San (Freddie Ba San, GBNF), Khin Maung Bo (Allan Saw Maung, EP69), Tin Tun (M69), Kyaw Wynn (EE) and Than Win (M69).
Kyaw Wynn (SPHS63)
- Rowing
He was a crew mate of Willie Soe Maung (Myint Soe, SPHS63, GBNF), Maung Maung Kyi (SPHS63), Hla Min (SPHS63) and Myint Thein (SPHS62, Cox, GBNF). We were Senior Novices Runners-up and were awarded Full Green.
- Birthday Soon Kyway
During my visit to Yangon, Kyaw Wynn hosted a lunch gathering at “Shwe Ba” Saing to celebrate his birthday.
He offered Nawakama to Uzin Aung Chaw (Victor, Ashin Ukkamsa), who was then residing in Sagaing Hills.
Aung Kyi (Arthur Kyi), Aye Ngwe (Edwin Ngwe), and some (whom we have lost contact) showed up.
Arthur used to drive a big motor cycle. Edwin was a regular football player on most Saturdays after taking the one-hour Mathematics test given by Brother Clementian.Maung Maung Kyi (SPHS63)
He was my classmate at SPHS and I.Sc.(A) and my rowing partner at RUBC.
When Rangoon University closed citing Security Concerns in 1963, he applied for a States Scholarship to study Chemical Engineering at Dresden University in Germany. He specialized in Pulp and Paper.
He worked for Sittaung Paper Mill and PPIC before moving to Wales, England.
He was a Best Man at my wedding.
We had a mini-reunion in 2017, when we visited UK and my cousin nephew Dr. Khin Tun (Peter, GBNF) drove us to Ogmore-by-the-sea in Wales.Miscellaneous
- Micro-gathering with Dr. Myint Soe (Benjamin Lye)
- Soon offering for Sayadaw Beatson (Physics & Scout Master, SPHS)

RITAA AGM
RITAA (formally known as RIT-YIT-YTU RIT Alumni Association) has conducted the AGM (Annual General Meeting).
The Interim Committee headed by U Tin Latt (M85) is to be congratulated for the work being done.
The AGM elected U Myo Aye (M94) as President.One Photo shows Hmaw Sayagyi U Wynn Htain Oo (M72) with the Outgoing and Incoming Presidents of RITAA.
WHO is extremely happy to have fulfilled his promise of “handing over the torch to the young and not so young”.
The oldies will continue to support key projects and share their experience.
Other photos show the attendees and new EC members, which span three or so decades.
